It might be more correct to say "so specified latent typing" and/or "no latent typing beyond what is provided by the execution environment, including the CPU, virtual memory system, etc." as appropriate. I am aware of no hardware environment that really accepts all possible values for all possible operations without the potential of somehow signaling a type violation. -- Chris Smith - Lead Software Developer / Technical Trainer MindIQ Corporation -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
